Hello, Pop Tart

Price: EURO 15.00 (incl.tax & shipping expenses)
On the cd Hello, Pop Tart Tomoko Mukaiyama plays an all American programme that embraces the entire twentieth century. The distinctive feature of American music is the natural mixture of popular and serious music. While European composers until recently were inclined to look down on music for entertainment with a certain sense of contempt, this feature has always been a natural source of inspiration for their American colleagues. Funnily enough the two composers on this cd who stand closest to pop music – Zappa and Zorn – have rather restricted themselves to pure, abstract music.
